My childhood was spent on my family’ssheep and cattle property in SW Qld and  I’ve lived and worked in rural areas for much of my life. 

This close affinity with country life, led me to draw and paint rural scenes from  a young age and remains a strong influence in my work today. 

After leaving School I studied Visual Arts, graduating with a Diploma of Creative Art and majoring in Print Making. I then worked as a trainee Graphic Artist also  illustrating  storyboard  and  background  graphics  for  WIN  Television,  Toowoomba. This  was  the  pre  computer  age  when  all  artwork  was  hand  generated. 

In  the early 80’s I developed my painting career further and attended classes  with  renowned  water-colourist Rex  Backhaus-Smith. I held  my first  solo  exhibition in 1984 and have exhibited widely since then.  

My works  in  watercolour,  oil  and  acrylic are  found  in  private  collections  throughout  Australia  and  overseas and I’m  currently  represented  by  Tiffany  Jones Fine Art Consultant, in Buderim. 

Much  of  my  work  is  produced  in  series  taking  inspiration  from a  variety  of  objects collected over the years, then using them as the foundation for a story  or theme within the painting.
